There is a black brown quadrangular patch in the upper medial area, with a black dot in the inner lower area. The crosslines are indistinct and brown, outlined in beige. The terminal line is only indicated by black interveinal dots. The hindwings are grey. The underside of the forewings is unicolourous brown and the underside of the hindwings is grey with a discal spot.
